Restoring the Edge

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper 

than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and 

spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts 

and intentions of the heart. - (WEB)

Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the 

things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away. - (WEB)

Hebrews 3:12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in 

any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the 

living God; 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is 

called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness 

of sin. - (WEB)

Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the 

edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.

Restoring the Edge

1. Humanity loses its edge when it drifts from God

2. An edge is not lost suddenly, it is lost by neglect

3. A dull tool doesn’t stop work but slows progress

4. A sharp edge must be utilized for positive benefit 

5. God sharpens his sons to be useful for a harvest
